In recent decades violence in Colombia has become a mandatory issue for artists. So much so that in its eagerness to fulfill this obligation, many of the works have ended up reducing the violence to its most mediated manifestation and, perhaps for that very reason, also the most alien and abstract: war and drug trafficking. Colombia, the risk is that you want to stay, gathers thirteen stories from different authors, but all of them with two things in common. The first, that the thirteen belong to the world of art (montage artists, curators, artists) and, the second, that all have lived in their own flesh the most different ways in which the violence of the country can be manifested. Some stories are written in Spanish and others in English, as several of its authors are foreigners.
